Bizmates初級ビジネス英会話point 105 ”i'm on My Way.”

初級者向けビジネス英会話 Bizmates for beginners 第105弾は、"I'm on my way." です。待ち合わせ時間に遅れそうな際、今その場所へ向かっている事を伝える場面ってありますよね。今回はそんな場面で使える表現を紹介します。例えば、同僚のタロウと待ち合わせ中のヒカは電話で、 "Where are you?"「どこにいる？」とタロウに聞きました。「向かっているところ。あと5分だよ。」と返答したい場合、あなたがタロウなら英語で何と言いますか？ "I'm on the Marunouchi Line. Next station is Otemachi. Please wait 5 minutes."「丸の内線で、次大手町駅だよ。5分待ってください。」でも伝わりますが、詳細説明は省略しもっとコンパクトに伝えてみましょう。そこで、 "I'm on my way. Give me 5 minutes." 「向かっているところ。あと5分だよ。」と言ってみましょう。自然な表現です。発音もビデオでチェック！ぜひこの表現を使ってみてください。【ビジネスパーソンのための英語学習ポータル「Bizmates Channel」】 ▼このコンテンツ（ビジネス英会話レッスン動画）の詳細はこちら▼ ****** 【オンラインで学ぶ「高品質」ビジネス英会話 Bizmates（ビズメイツ）】 ▼Webサイトはこちら▼ ******

Hello and welcome to this Bizmates for beginners video series and today phrase is "I'm on my way." On my way. What does this mean? We will find out but first let's do our test. Okay so I'll let's imagine I just checked your report in English so I checked it okay looks good here I finish checking your report. What do you say? Not "thank you" three times. I can't thank you enough. That's right. Did you get that? okay good. Let's go on to today's phrase "I'm on my way." Okay let's imagine this is a telephone conversation okay and I asked Taro, you know, we're supposed to meet somewhere. Okay let's say at I Awajicho station we have to meet Awajicho station and I'm waiting... where is Taro so I call Taro. And I say: Taro, where are you? and he says: I'm on the Marunouchi Line. Next station is Otemachi. Please wait five minutes. So Taro's in a panic okay and he's giving me all this information I don't need that information. On Marunouchi Line, next station is Otemachi please wait five minutes So, a shorter and more natural way to say this is like this, so I say: Taro, where are you? where are you now? And he says: Yeah I'm on my way. Give me five minutes. That's all. Very short okay I'm going there now so please wait five minutes. Very short because you don't want to talk so much when you're on the train, right? So let's look at pronunciation it's "I'mon... I'mon my way gi'me... gi'me five minutes. I'm on my way. Gi'me five minutes. not GIVE me, but gi'me... I'm on my way. Give me five minutes. You try... Perfect. Okay with my sentence: So where are you?... Okay hurry up. Okay perfect, like that. Okay so next time I'm going to call you and I'm gonna say "Where are you?" And you say... That's right. I'm on my way. Give me five minutes. Please remember this and we will see you next time. Thank you.
